Re: Beginner question for netbeans 8.1 platform application

Clearly a lot to learn still -- best thing you can do is to get this 
book: leanpub.com/nbp4beginners

And, indeed, when you create a new NetBeans module in your application, 
you can add a new layer.xml file to it, via the New File dialog.

Probably this series will be good for you too: 
https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-selection-1.html

However, there's really no better way to get started than to get the 
book on leanpub.com referenced above.
